The moment :
Another hard day to breathe: Everyday seems to be a mystery when you talk about the weather here in Kuwait. The day when you might be thinking that
the sun will be blazing throughout the day, suddenly the worst storms hit you and the scenario ends up in being a scene of a lost city.
Traumatecture: While walking through a junkyard some time back, the heat of the sun and the strong wind across the desert made me faint and i kept lying on the ground for almost throughout the quarter of the day untill the sun went down and a loader came to unload. The guy driving it, rushed to me, offering some water and as i came in a exhault this illustration depicts all that what i saw.
Karachi: Stairs, the most important bone in the skeletal system of a building. Just imagine it as the esophagus that connects ur pharynx ( the mouth piece and the nasal cavity ) with your stomach. A very bilogical example i suppose but maybe thats how i understand it. These Stairs are the part of one of the boutiques in the Zamzama Area. What would you do if you happen to stand on one such staircase?
Karachi: I was wandering around in the streets while my wife was shopping in one of the boutiques in ZamZama Market, i came across this building having a magnificent window. At first it seemed like a perfect example of the colonial era, but then as i examined the building itself it was not as old as i thought. In short it was not built during the reign of Britishers. Some local contractor bought the idea from the era and then constructed on site introducing his own innovativity into the design. Bringing up a new style, i would rather call it “colonial, when reached south asia.”
While walking through the streets of ‘Saddar’ bazaar in Karachi, Pakistan, I came across this wonderful Jharokha. Do you think so? Well i would rather define this one as an intervention from the typical Rajputana Mughal Architecture.
As one of the busiest shops here in kuwait, i stand still looking at the floor…Telling myself… It wouldve been better on the wall.
Karachi International Airport:
*sigh* sitting here in the lounge, once again. Again in the hope of getting things right. Travelling seemed to be a perfect reason to get away from my daily regime of professional life but now even this seems to be a hard task.
